Cirucmcision was commonly promoted as a means to keep boys chaste in the US and was a popular “treatment” promoted by Kellogg at the time (yeah the cereal guy).

Christians may not be required to do it but we’ve got a few tens of millions at least who do do it out of social cohesion reasons and that’s enough of a “reason” for them.

Here’s a quote by Kellogg on how a circumcision should be ideally performed by the way.

the operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anaesthetic [to] have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases.

Dude was whack job, American af and not Jewish. Kellogg encouraged parents to tie their children’s hands to their bedposts or to circumcise their teenage boys. An even more aggressive tactic saw the foreskin of a young man’s penis sewed shut to prevent erections. For young girls, he recommended pouring carbolic acid on their clitorises.

So no, saying some shit about circumcision being genital mutilation ain’t antisemitic in America. Most people who do it aren’t Jewish, it has a long history of non-Jews doing it and most of the people circumcised in America were done so by non-Jews.

In fact approximately 58.3% of all newborns in the US get circumcised despite any religious affiliation were still happening as of 2010. Recent days could change but not drastically enough to change the point.

So shut up about it already.

Agreed. Much of his work isn’t generally made public due to the nature of what he does but I’m open to contacting him directly to see if he’s willing to present more of the process/data.

 

Catholic Health Initiatives-Iowa, a faith-based health care provider, is arguing in a medical malpractice case that the loss of an unborn child does not equate to the death of a “person” for the purpose of calculating damage awards.

In Iowa, court-ordered awards for noneconomic losses stemming from medical malpractice are capped at $250,000, except in cases that entail the “loss or impairment of mind or body.”

Attorneys for the CHI and MercyOne hospital are arguing the cap on damages still applies in cases where the “loss” is that of a fetus or unborn child.

CHI’s status as a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity is based on its stated mission of providing health services “in the spirit of the gospel.” The ethics guidelines it approved in 2018 state that the corporation is committed to “respect the sacredness of every human life from the moment of conception until death.”
